MILITARY COUNCIL.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE Emperor Will
liam held to-day an informal council on
the military situation. Prince william,
General Won Moltke, General Won Schel-
lenderff, Count Won Woldersee and Gen
ersl Albedyle were present. The council,
which lasted two hours, is understood to
have special bearing on to-morrew's mill
tary council st Vienna. Whatever meas
ure is there adopted will be taken in con-
sonance with concerted plau for DEM
onstration egsinst Russia. Reports have
reached Berlin which say Austria's de-
Tense works in Gslicia are neglected,
while the movements of the Rus
sian troops show an accurate
knowledge of the weak points for attack.
The statements which were sent to
Vienna have stuDg the war office there
into night and day activity. No news
is permitted to trsnspire regarding mill
tary movements, but it is knownsthat the
railways in the direction of Crackow,
Irsvslsr, Lemberg and PeIZmysi Junction
are overworked by traffic In men and war
materials. Major Defines, military at
tache at the G&rman legation in Vienns,
spends hours daily at the war office in
consultation with the chiefs of the de-
psrtnents. All measures that are decided
upon are
COMMUNICATED TO THE BERLIN AUTHORI-
TIES
through Majo- Defines, and the inspira-
ton of Count Won Moltke is supposed to
guide the Austrian preparations. To-
morrow's council will be attended by
Herr YonITiszs, IIungarisn prime minis
ter; Count Won Taffe, minister of Iuterior Z;
Count Kalucky, Count Bylapd Rhevdt,
imperial minister of war; Herr Won
X ,llay, imperial minister of finance, and
Arch Duke Albrecht, and will be
presided over by the Emperor
The result of the conference
is eagerly awaited Berlin officials
are of the opinion that the outcome OF
the Council will be nothing more than
the dispatch Of troops to the front. The
| time has not come for a collective note
from the allied powers demanding an
| explanation OF Russla's concentrations.
1t is certain that Prince Bismarck has not
yet taken action toward
COLLECTIVE ULTIMATUM.
